The Westside Neighborhood Betterment Association has implemented some great projects this spring to help our neighbors.
A new project this year is the purchase of shirts for the Westport Elementary third-, fourth-, and fifth-graders who are participating in math competitions this year. The shirts help the students develop school pride and identify them as the Westport team during their competitions. We wish them success during their competitions and thank their math voach, Mrs. Dorsey, for preparing these students.
Another new project we are working on is the construction and placement of book boxes for our book share program. As completed, the boxes will be placed in locations throughout our neighborhood. Locations of the book boxes will be announced on the WNBA Facebook page.
If you are looking for a fun and rewarding way to meet your neighbors, join us on April 22 while we pick up litter along Mount Vernon between Park and Kansas Expressway. We will meet at Zagonyi Park at 9 a.m. Wear sturdy shoes and bring gloves.
On May 13, we will have our Westside Neighborhood Cleanup. Dumpsters will be provided at the Study Alternative School parking lot for you to place your trash and brush. All of our Westside neighbors will receive a card in the mail outlining the hours and items that will accepted for disposal. Bring your trash and stay awhile to help your neighbors unload their trash.
The WNBA meets at 6:30 p.m. on the second Tuesday of each month at the Westport Park Apartments community room, 250 N. Hilton. Neighbors who are interested in helping their neighborhood and participating in projects are encouraged to attend a meeting. We are also seeking a neighborhood church or business to participate in a joint project.
Come to a meeting and meet your neighborhood police officer and your neighbors as we plan projects for the neighborhood.
